    Medical Tourism

    Hi NippitKT, Dr. Jalil Illan is a great option. He is accredited by ACS, IFSO, ASMB, and SRC has accredited him as a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The hospital where he performs surgeries, Hospital BC, is also a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC. Very few hospitals and surgeons in the US have this accreditation and even less in Mexico. Here are the links where you can verify the accreditations: ACS: https://www.facs.org/profile/56073599 IFSO: https://www.ifso.com/selim-jalil-illan-fraijo-4443/ ASMBS: https://asmbs.org/provider/jalil-illan-facs-e8YM/ SRC: http://www.surgicalreview.org/find-a-provider/specialties/ Please contact me if you have any questions.

  18. Hi drzrx, I just wanted to let you know that BariatricPal MX has changed its name to Hospital BC. Dr. Illan is still the Medical Director is a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC.

    I NEED THIS SURGERY

    I agree. Please do your research and be wary of any practice in Mexico that charges less than $4600 USD. Ask for certifications and accreditations for both the Surgeon and the Hospital. These are fairly easy to confirm online. Look for surgeon accreditations like FACS, ASMBS, SRC Surgeon of Excellence and SRC Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. As for the Hospital. Make sure it is a FULL-Service Hospital and not a clinic or surgery center. Clinics and surgery centers are not equipped to handle serious complications. Their accreditations and certifications include SRC Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, as well as Local, State and Federal certifications.
